Cobwebs!


TerraDactyl has discovered cobwebs.  We have this game called climb (video below) where she walks up my body and then ends up touching the ceiling.  Anyway, this time, she accidentally touched a cobweb when she went to touch the ceiling.  It got stuck on her hand and she had a funny shake-it-off freak out.  I told TerraDactyl that it was a cobweb and then cleaned her up.  

Later that day, there was a light reflection on the wall that looked like a cobweb, so she started calling it a cobweb.  I told her it wasn't, so then she points at the corner of the ceiling and starts saying cobweb (well it was really more of a "cob-cob-cob").  Of course, this time, there WAS a cobweb there.  So I cleaned it up.  We spent the next 15 minutes with TerraDactyl pointing out all the cobwebs she could find.  There were quite a few, (we've got a lot of spiders here next to our little forest) definitely more than I'd noticed!  But they're gone for now, at least.  

Where is, quite possibly, the worst place for someone to lay down and try to take a nap?  The stairs!  So, of course, TerraDactyl is going through a laying on the stairs phase.  Note that the picture above and the video below are on different days (and different stairs).  The video is actually while she was trying to play with some 3-year olds who were running up and down the stairs.  That's why TerraDactyl lifts her head at the end of the video.  She was checking to see if they were going to come running down the stairs (I think she wanted them to run down the stairs and find her laying there).

Summer Camp

Image
  Tomorrow TerraDactyl will be starting her first day of summer camp.  It's twice a week for 3 hours each day.  The class is super small (5 kids) and they're all 3 or 4 years old.  It's only for the month of July.  Hopefully, she'll like it.  It's a nut-free building, so I was struggling to find filling snacks for TerraDactyl to bring with her.  I ended up finding these snack cups of olives and pouches of pickles.  I was so excited about my find.  And you know what DH had to say?  "Olives and pickles for snacks?  What are you trying to get TerraDactyl bullied?"  :P  (I'm still packing the olives for her). TerraDactyl really does like olives though.  She seems to kind of like the pickles, but the olives pretty much always get cleaned off her plate.  I'd also like to point out that neither DH nor I taught her to shove the olives onto her fingers.  She just started doing that one day.  Maybe it's innate.....

A Parade!

Image
Check out all the candy TerraDactyl collected from the 4th of July Parade!  DH said she had a blast running out and picking up the candy.  For most of the parade they were spaced pretty far away from other kids so she actually had a chance to get the candy.  After a while though, another family with older kids camped out on their other side and they pretty much cleaned up the street before TerraDactyl could get to it.  She's not super aggressive with these things (yet - I'm sure she'll inherit a decent dose of competitiveness).  Also, check out her awesome snow boots that she insisted on wearing.  She's such a nut. Parade snacks!  DH and I weren't sure what kind of parking there would be, so they drove to a train stop and rode the train downtown.  TerraDactyl was super excited about the train ride.  DH wanted to walk back to the car after the parade, but TerraDactyl insisted on riding the train back.   A bit surprisingly, TerraDacty...

My Name is Still Mom

TerraDactyl had her first day of school.  It went super smoothly.  She had zero problems with us dropping her off with a bunch of strangers.  Once the teacher said she could play with the toys in the room, she had no more interest in her parents.  And DH and I suddenly had 3 child-free hours!   Here's one of the last photos of me pregnant.  Do you think these vertical lines are slimming?  I know I look huge.  There's a good reason for that... This little grumpy troll (aka SaraTops) was born on July 14 at 2:42pm, weighing 9 lbs, 10 oz!  She was a big one!  More than a pound heavier than TerraDactyl was, but an inch shorter (20.5" vs 21.5")!   SaraTops is actually much more attractive than that last picture indicates.  We refered to her as Norm throughout the pregnancy because Norm MacDonald is DH's favorite comedian and DH suggested we name her after him.  I did not agree to that plan, but I did allow Norm as a ni...
